How is everyone? I am purchasing an 04 Suriname Boa on Friday and will be receiving him on Tuesday. I want to get his cage prepared and would like to know some of the basics for setting up his home. I think I am going to purchase a 40 gallon critter cage (glass tank) from my local pet store. Do you think this will be sufficient enough for him when he's an adult? I currently have a ball python and 2 leucistic rat snakes so I'm not new to husbandry. Could you please give me temps and humidity that I will need to keep him comfortable in? And also how many hides are recommended, water dish size, branches, etc. that will make him more happy in his home? Any other info will be appreciated as well. Thanks and I can't wait to get this little guy.

Alex
